Captain Smellybottom and the Queen’s Lost Gold

Ray Willis

Gold! Pirates! A very smelly villain!

When twelve-year-old sailor Mack overhears a secret about the Queen’s lost gold, he never expects it to land him in the path of the stinkiest pirate to ever sail the seas.

Enter Captain Smellybottom — a fearsome, foul-smelling pirate with a razor-sharp sword, a crew of villains, and a magic parrot named Tilbo who can talk (and never misses a chance to squawk the truth). Armed with a stolen treasure map, Smellybottom sets sail for a hidden island — but Mack isn’t giving up that easily.

With courage, clever thinking and a race against time, Mack must outsmart pirates, survive dangerous seas, and prove that doing the right thing is worth fighting for.

Packed with laugh-out-loud moments, swashbuckling action, and a dash of historical adventure, Captain Smellybottom and the Queen’s Lost Gold is a rip-roaring tale about bravery, honesty and believing in a little bit of magic — even when grown-ups don’t.
